Since considerable erosion can take place
prior to the construction of houses and other buildings, facilities,
and features in a subdivision, the stormwater management plan and
construction plans for a subdivision shall contain properly designed
measures, as described and required by the City of Blue Springs Design
and Construction Manual, to control erosion and sediment discharge
which would emanate from the subdivision area, especially within all
critical drainage watershed areas (as determined by the Director of
Public Works). The measures shall be incorporated into the final construction
drawings. The measures shall apply to all street and utility installations
as well as to the protection of disturbed land. Measures shall be
instituted to prevent or control erosion and sedimentation during
the various stages of construction of the subdivision. An erosion
control plan must be submitted and approved by the Director of Public
Works prior to starting construction. This plan should include regulatory
mechanisms to control erosion and sediment to the maximum extent practicable
and allowed under State law. In addition to the erosion plan, the
owner must provide documentation to the Director of Public Works'
satisfaction that it has received its NPDES permit from the Missouri
Department of Natural Resources. Failure to comply with erosion control
plan will result in revocation of the construction permit until the
project is brought into compliance.
